So far we have 4 guy names dh and I agree on. Would love opinions and middle name/combo suggestions. Would love to honor my sister who passed recently, her name was [name_f]Emalie[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] - if you can find a way to masculine-ly honor her in a boy name I’d love to hear it! My dad’s name, [name_m]Brian[/name_m], is another possibiliy for a middle.
*[name_m]Calvin[/name_m]
*[name_m]Wesley[/name_m]
*[name_m]Holden[/name_m]
*[name_u]Emmett[/name_u] (obvi this one already honors [name_f]Emma[/name_f], so no need for a tribute mn)
We are early in the game, so open to other suggestions:)
I really like [name_m]Holden[/name_m] - perhaps with [name_m]Eli[/name_m] as a middle name?
Funny, I was going to suggest [name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_m]Eli[/name_m] or [name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_u]Elias[/name_u].
I need to read a Catcher in the [name_m]Rye[/name_m] before I can put my whole heart behind [name_m]Holden[/name_m], lol! Need to find out what sort of character he was…
I’m finishing up [name_m]John[/name_m] Steinbach’s [name_f]East[/name_f] of [name_u]Eden[/name_u] right now (no good names in there unfortunately!), so will pick that up next:)
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_m]Emil[/name_m] as a tribute? Classic, artistic, unique but not “out there”…would work well with [name_m]Calvin[/name_m], perhaps?
What about [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] as a middle? I think [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], [name_m]Wesley[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u], and [name_m]Holden[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] are all lovely, and would honor her quite nicely. I like the suggestions of [name_m]Emil[/name_m] and [name_m]Eli[/name_m], too. Or even [name_m]Eleazar[/name_m]? It seems to relate quite well to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] to me, but maybe I think that because I knew one who spelled it Eliezar, though. He pronounced it eh-[name_u]LEE[/name_u]-zar, not ellie-ay-zar, though.
Good luck!
My condolences on the passing of your sister.
It’s a stretch but try to follow me on this:
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]–> [name_m]Emilio[/name_m]–> [name_m]Milo[/name_m]/[name_m]Miles[/name_m] (as a middle)
Other ideas:
[name_m]Emmanuel[/name_m]
Emeric
[name_m]Emil[/name_m]
Emerys
[name_u]Emery[/name_u]/[name_u]Emory[/name_u]
[name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
I also like the suggestions of [name_m]Eli[/name_m] and [name_u]Elias[/name_u].
I love [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]. I think another person suggested [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Emmett[/name_u] which is really nice.
